Rugged on the outside. Ridiculously comfy on the inside.
Your dog spends hours in their crate. They deserve something better than a hard slab of foam.
Our custom-fit crate pads combine tough, water-resistant 1000D mil-spec Cordura with 3" of plush, supportive CertiPUR-US memory foam.
Made to fit RuffLand, Impact, KBC, Variocage, Gunner, M.A.D., TransK9, Vari Kennel, Midwest, Dakota, and custom builds.
We have six dogs of our own (2 Dutchies, a Mal, a Lab, a Golden, and a JRT), and this whole thing started because we couldn't find decent pads for our KBC custom van crates. The ones we tried were too thin, didn't fit right, and bunched up.
So we started making our own.
You choose the size and colors. We make it in Pine, Colorado, and cut it to fit your crate like a glove.
WHY 3" OF MEMORY FOAM
We use 3" of solid, open-cell CertiPUR-US memory foam, cut from a king-size mattress topper made for humans. The same kind of foam you'd want to sleep on yourself.
It's plush, supportive, and conforms to your dog's body, helping distribute pressure around elbows, hips, and other contact points.
Some kennel pads use firm, closed-cell foam that doesn't compress much under your dog's weight. It's tough, but it feels a lot like lying on a gym mat.
We wanted both: a pad tough enough for working dogs, with the comfort of a real mattress.
Eight hours on a hard pad is eight hours on a hard pad.
"My older guy Obi has hip dysplasia and early on set arthritis and I hate when I crate him out of the car that he's laying on the primo pad. He loves a nice comfy bed and always is laying on something soft and these are so soft and I feel so much better having him lay on this all day than the primo pad. I'm so glad I came across your company"
– Lizzie, Obi's mom and Coolorado customer
"The memory foam crate pad fits like a glove, is well made, and really is memory foam, not egg crate foam. My dog was just recently diagnosed with IVDD and this type of padding was recommended but I could not find a crate pad to fit her XL Ruffland, until I found this wonderful seller that custom makes these crate pads."
– Jennifer, 5-star Etsy review
Want a different thickness? We think 3" is the sweet spot, but we can also make 2" pads for kennels where headroom is tight, or extra-plush 4" pads for dogs who could use a little more cushioning. No extra charge! Just email us at hello@coolorado.com to arrange it.
COLORS
Military earth tones? Absolutely. Peacock Teal with Lime Green? Hell yes.
Choose up to three colors at no extra charge:
- Base Color: Bottom and long sides, including the zipper panel
- Top Color: The surface your dog sleeps on
- Front/Back Color: The two short ends
For a classic two-color pad, choose the same color for Top and Front/Back. Or mix it up with three different colors.
Love our Cotopaxi-inspired combinations? Choose "Military Mix" and we'll mix the military colors for you.
Want a bright color as your base, or an all-over bright pad? We can do that for an additional $10 per pad, since those fabrics cost us quite a bit more. Message us to arrange it.
SIZES
Size tiers are based on interior floor length.
- Small: Up to 22"
- Medium: Over 22"-33"
- Large: Large: Over 33"–40"
- XL: Over 40"–49"
- XXL: Over 44"–59"
If you need something over 59" long, let us know and we'll give you a custom estimate.
No guessing, no "close enough." Tell us your crate dimensions and we'll cut your pad specifically for your kennel.
HOW TO MEASURE FOR A CUSTOM PAD
For hard-shell crates (RuffLand, Impact, Dakota, Variocage), measure the interior floor. Don't measure conservatively! It's better for the crate pad to fit snug than to slide around. Bend your measuring tape up against the wall and take the measurement right at the wall.
For wire crates (Midwest, etc.), measure the exterior frame. If you're unsure about the dimensions, contact us before ordering.
Odd sizes, angled floors, double compartments, and one-off builds? Bring them on.
We've made pads for complicated setups like 60/40 split, angled, double-compartment Variocages, and weird cut-outs like Gunners. If your kennel has an unusual shape, we'll work with you to figure out the dimensions and make pads that actually fit.
Not sure? Send us a photo of your crate with a tape measure and we'll figure it out.
WHAT YOU GET
- 3" of solid CertiPUR-US memory foam, cut from a king-size human mattress topper
- Removable cover made from mil-spec 1000D Cordura with DWR water-resistant coating
- Covered, low-profile zipper
- Double-stitched seams
- Optional corner tie-down tabs to secure the pad to your kennel – especially helpful for dogs who dig, rearrange, or bunch up their bedding
- Custom fit to your specific crate dimensions
- Colors to match your crate or dog's theme
- Machine-washable cover
THE ZIPPER
The low-profile zipper runs the length of one side, tucked under a sewn-down Cordura flap that covers it completely. The flap helps protect the zipper from moisture and everyday messes, with nothing sticking up for a dog to grab or chew on.
CUSTOM EMBROIDERY
Want to add your dog's name, kennel name, logo, or other embroidery? We can sometimes make that happen!
We work with a local small-business embroiderer, so availability is limited and embroidered orders may take longer. Message us before ordering for pricing and availability.
BUILT FOR WORKING DOGS
Our crate pads are built for working dogs and dogs that do stuff. Dogs that get dirty, dig, shed, travel, compete, and actually use their gear.
The 1000D Cordura is the same rugged fabric used for military backpacks, duffel bags, and tactical gear. It's tough, abrasion-resistant, and water-resistant, but it's also flexible and has a comfortable woven texture – not stiff, slick vinyl.
And while there's a full 3" of memory foam inside, it's not like putting a rigid 3" platform in the bottom of your kennel. The foam has plenty of give, conforming to your dog's body as they settle in.
No dog bed is indestructible, though.
As Todd likes to say: "Every dog deserves a bed. Until they don't."
QUESTIONS? WE LOVE QUESTIONS
Not sure what size to order? Wondering whether three colors will look amazing together or completely ridiculous? Have a weird kennel configuration you need help figuring out?
Email us at hello@coolorado.com. You'll hear back from the actual people making your pad – Lisa and Todd. We genuinely love helping customers get exactly what they want.
CARE
For everyday dirt, shake it out or hose it off. Don't jet spray or power wash.
For deeper cleaning, remove the cover and machine wash on cold, then tumble dry on low (it helps to throw a dry towel or two in with it).
The memory foam itself should not go in the washing machine.
OUR WARRANTY
We stand behind our workmanship.
If the fit is off, let us know and we’ll make it right.
Lifetime construction warranty: If a seam, zipper, or attachment fails because of a manufacturing defect, we'll fix or replace it for free.
What we don't cover: chewing damage (no bed is chew-proof, and we won't pretend ours is), normal foam compression, or general wear from years of use.
These pads are built to be maintained, not babied. Replacement covers and foam inserts are available – just message us.
CUSTOM / MADE TO ORDER - NO RETURNS
Every pad is made specifically for your crate, so we can't accept returns simply because you've changed your mind or don't like your color choices.
If something arrives wrong, doesn't fit the agreed-upon dimensions, is defective, or is damaged in shipping, contact us immediately and we'll make it right.
PRODUCTION & SHIPPING
Every pad is made to order by us in Pine, Colorado.
Most orders ship within 5–7 business days after production begins. Embroidery and unusually complex custom builds may take longer.
